Question

The weight of a 630 g piece of ham is _____.

Answer 1

The weight of an object is given by:

`F=mg`
where
F is the weight
m is the mass of the object

`g=9.81 m/s^2` is the gravitational acceleration

The piece of ham in this problem has a mass of
m=630 g = 0.63 kg
therefore its weight is

`F=mg=(0.63 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=6.18 N`
